These miniature teapots are a wonderful example of prison art; they were made in the 1930s by inmates out of Lincoln wheat pennies.  These have a lacquer finish that has preserved the bright copper color and keeps the lids attached.  The tiny tea kettles could be used in a dollhouse kitchen or worn as a pendant to make a unique necklace. *I am selling these as a pair, but if you are interested in only one you can message me 

Measurements: combined weight 9.1g, 19mm wide

Condition: great antique condition with light wear, lids do not come off, top handle moves

Markings: marked as shown, one has the "1933" mark of the penny visible on its side
